#140 - Breaking down the USMNT roster

USA Soccercast

The United States Men’s National Team is back with a new roster and a new interim coach, and we examine the team on Episode 140 of the USA Soccercast.

The USMNT are gathering for matches over the next week against Canada and New Zealand and they’re doing so with an interim coach: Mikey Varas. There’s also a new roster with some players who have been called in to compete for some depth spots. Also, with some players out due to injury or rest, there’s an opportunity for guys to show they should be a part of the main core of the player pool.

We also discuss what the team should be looking to accomplish in this window despite the fact no permanent coach is in place. Competition is one thing, but it’s a chance to reset and really begin to play with the sense of urgency that’s required in every match. The team may have friendlies the next couple of months, but they can still approach those matches like they are World Cup matches.
